The 2007 edition of the J.League Cup, officially the 2007 J.League Yamazaki Nabisco Cup, sponsored by Nabisco began on March 21 with reigning champions JEF United seeking to claim their 3rd successive crown.
This would equal the record set by Verdy Kawasaki when the competition began in 1992.
Both Kawasaki Frontale and Urawa Red Diamonds were exempt from competing in the group stage, due to their entry into the Asian Champions League.
The winners were Gamba Osaka, beating Kawasaki Frontale in the final 1-0 to claim its first J.League Cup.
Kawasaki Frontale advances to the final on aggregate score of 6 – 3.
